Will Smith accused of trying to back out of hit movie ‘days before filming’ started

“The movie I wanted to make and the movie Will wanted to make, neither one of those movies is as good as the movie we made together,” said Tennant.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing.

Hitch director Andy Tennant has claimed that Will Smith tried to leave the hit rom-com just three days before filming started and described the production as being “fraught with peril”.
